Have the rumors about Jessica Simpson's dad being gay become so intense that she's fallen off her diet wagon?

We hope not, and assume that's probably not the case. We've supported Jessica even when people were talking smack about her weight loss — and we turned out to be right. We still have her back!

Here's what a source had to say about this:

“Jessica’s diet has been seriously derailed ever since the gay allegations against her father were released. While she’s not diverting from the diet, Jessica isn’t sticking to the portion plan and isn’t losing as much weight as she should. She knows that as the Weight Watchers spokesperson she has to be more disciplined, but her emotions are all over the place right now."

Right, well, don't mind us if we take that with a grain of salt. We have no doubt she's struggling to come to terms with the revelations that her dad Joe, a former youth minister and Baptist pastor, has come out of the closet.

That doesn't mean she's taking it out on herself after so much hard work. She's stronger than that!
